Good arrangement
Avoid Happycar.com! Bait and Switch!!
I just had a most unhappy experience with happycar.com
Happycar.com had great prices listed on their site so I booked a car only to have them contact me to say that for undisclosed reasons, my booking could not be completed but no worries as they had another offer available. Since it was just a little bit more expensive I decided to book that car instead.
Well this happened 2 more times when finally on the THIRD TIME the offer was now not even cheaper than the competition and the location of my rental was moved from the airport to an off site vendor.
This process stretched over a couple or 3 days and completely wasted my time, not to mention I almost missed out on the other legitimate deals that I had found elsewhere AND I had to give my credit card details to happycar.com
After all this, I searched their site again just to see what would happen and sure enough there was the same fantastic deal listed that they have no intention of letting anyone book.
I would avoid trying to book a rental car with happycar.com at all costs unless you enjoy playing bait and switch on the losing end.
Oct 2019 RESPONSE TO HAPPY CAR
Thanks for your response nearly 4MONTHS LATER and also for confirming my 0 star review with a detailed description of your clearly flawed business model.
My 0 star review stands. If you want to waste a lot of time going round and round as Happy Car tries to connect you to a supplier then be my guest.
Whether it be the cause of the supplier or happycar.com, the name of the game in this system is get people clicking on low prices then switch to higher prices based on any number of reasons.
Happy Car needs to take responsibility for its supplier's actions and if the supplier can not fufil the rental contracts as advertised, Happy Car should delist them. As the middleman, it is not acceptable just to pass the buck on to the supplier.

Great customer service, great cars
Great customer service, great cars.
I have rented several times with happycar (dollar, thrifty and fox cars) and the service is really great (and the cheapest, at least in the Bay Area). Trustworthy.
Also, I asked some questions (by mail and by phone), and they answered really quickly and efficiently.
Happycar is highly recommended.
